There is a lot of evidence suggesting the "iPhone Fold" exists, though Apple may never release it. This concept device would use hinges and a foldable OLED display to give users a large screen in a small footprint.

● Apple is testing multiple foldable devices
● Unique hinge design and different folding configurations are possible
● 8-inch display
● Expected by 2023
● Could exceed $1500 based on market

The "iPhone Fold" exists only in patents and internal testing, but Apple could soon push for a consumer product release. Rumors have been scarce, so information about the product comes primarily from patents.

Evidence shows Apple is considering folding technology. While Apple is rarely the first to new technology, it is known to investigate it via testing and patents.

Apple could be developing a tablet that folds into a phone or a clamshell that opens up into a full-screen phone. The difference is minimal but notable. Samsung sells two "foldable" devices — the clamshell Galaxy Z Flip and the tablet Galaxy Z Fold.

Going forward, we will consider the product an iPhone capable of folding one way or another and refer to it as the "iPhone Fold." Leaks and speculation suggest the "iPhone Flip" is also a possibility, but Apple could avoid these terms entirely and may not even refer to the device as an iPhone.

"iPhone Fold" Features
The folding iPhone will still, first and foremost, be an iPhone running iOS. Expect feature parity with whatever flagship device it launches alongside, maybe the "iPhone 15." It is likely that if Apple releases the "iPhone Fold," not much else will differentiate the product besides the folding gimmick.

Design

One disadvantage of a folding device is its thickness. No matter how thin the device is when open, it will double its thickness when closed. This could lead to issues when trying to fit it in your pocket or bag.

Apple has trended towards thinner devices over time, but it doesn't always. The iPhone 13 is notably thicker than the iPhone 12, and the iPhone 14 is just as thick, but a folding device may be thinner than any iPhone when opened.

Folding devices also have moving parts like hinges. This will lead to wear and tear as the device is opened and closed over time. Apple has a long history of working on hinge technology, from MacBook lids that open with a single finger to the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro that holds the device aloft without fail. Whatever hinge system Apple devises for the "iPhone Fold," it will likely be an innovation for the market.

Earlier rumors indicated Apple developed a foldable similar to the Microsoft Surface Duo. Jon Prosser said the device resembled an iPhone 11 on a hinge with two separate displays. This rumor hasn't been repeated since it appeared in June 2020.

More recent rumors suggest Apple has decided upon the "flip" style device. It would feature a clamshell design akin to the Gameboy Advanced SP that opens into a phone and closes into a small square that can be pocketed.

Display

Future iPhones will likely see little change in display technology. The current generation of iPhones uses OLED displays, which already have flexible properties and could make their way into a foldable iPhone.

Large-display devices will shift to mini LED in 2021, but the iPhone will stick with OLED due to having more advantages on a smaller display. OLED will likely be used in a folding iPhone due to the flexibility of the display type. When OLED was first introduced to the mobile space, manufacturers showed off displays that could be folded or rolled up using the technology. This will be key for Apple's folding display, where mini LED might not allow such flexibility.

A folding device can be built in several form factors. It can be a clamshell device that flips open into a phone-like device, or it can be a phone-like device that opens into a tablet. Some manufacturers use multiple displays in a clamshell for their foldable. However, this is more of the halfway point to true foldables, which have folding displays.

Rumors indicate that Apple has already begun testing these two folding types, comparable to the Samsung Galaxy Fold (horizontal fold) and the Samsung Galaxy Flip (vertical fold). Both passed the initial tests, but rumors say Apple has decided to move forward with the "flip" style.

Tests are being conducted using OLED and micro-LED, though it is unknown which will fit Apple's final design and supply requirements.

If there is an external display, it will likely inherit the always-on mode found in iPhone 14 Pro. The display dims but doesn't turn off — showing the time, widgets, and other data.

Cameras and Biometrics

Apple tends to put multiple cameras in its most premium devices, and the trend will likely continue for the "iPhone Fold." A standard device has only a front and a back to house cameras, but a folding device has a front, back, outside, and inside to consider.
